インプラント治療において、歯科衛生士の担う業務は多岐に渡ります。まず初めに手術を成功させるために行う、準備から患者対応について学んで頂きます。そして術後管理においては、インプラント周囲組織を理解した口腔衛生管理が必要になってきます。私達の考え方や臨床での実際の取り組みをお伝えします。しかし、口腔衛生管理だけでは長期維持が困難な補綴装置が装着されていることも少なくありません。そこで、より良い補綴形態を作るための工夫やコミュニケーションについても、歯科衛生士と歯科技工士の両者の立場でお話させて頂きます。

The hands-on MIT course is designed to familiarize you with implant components both surgically and prosthetically. In addition, the goal is for you to gain comfort with the procedures as outlined below. For those of you with experience in dental implants, you will gain tips and tricks from our experienced clinicians. Given the synergy between surgery and prosthetics, it’s important to understand both, regardless of your area of interest.

Learning Objectives:

The following model-based procedures will be included in the hands-on instruction:

1) Review anatomy and surgical protocol

2) Place 2 implants for mandibular overdenture

3) Place single implants

4) Suturing procedures on a soft tissue model

5) Temporary crown fabrication

6) Place, pick up, and size locators for mandibular overdentures

Course Fee

• $745 CAD

CE Credits

• 8 hours

In this unique hands-on course, clinicians will learn how to extract teeth in an implant-minded fashion, classify the socket defects and follow the appropriate bone grafting protocol. Various pig mandible exercises will provide clinicians with a complete and enriching day of learning.

Join us for this epic education event with our Mentors to elevate your practice.

Surgical extractions will become predictable, efficient and minimally invasive from the patient’s perspective.

You will learn how to simplify your implant surgery by addressing the bone during tooth extraction, resulting in alveolar ridges that are suitable for a straight forward implant surgery.

We are excited to help you in any way possible to meet your implant needs and address any questions in a friendly, collaborative, and supportive learning environment. Sharpen your scalpels and sign up soon before it’s too late! Space is limited.

Learning Objectives:

• The implant-minded dental extraction technique
• Diagnose and classify extraction socket defects
• Understand the various grafting materials used in dentistry
